Face Raiders: The Basics

What is Face Raiders? Face Raiders is an "augmented reality" shooting game that is built into your Nintendo 3DS. It's part of the tech demo package software that the 3Ds comes with.

How Do I Play? You start by taking a picture of your face. Then you shoot the crap out of it. Face Raiders uses photos of your face and your friend's faces to make enemies. By tilting your 3DS and literally spinning around, you find the enemies on your screen and shoot balls at them.

How Many Levels Are There? There are six different levels of increasing difficulty and complexity. There are also three modes designed to for showing the game off to friends. The additional levels are unlocked by completing previous levels, and by collecting new faces.

How Do I Collect New Faces? By taking photos of friends, or by playing the game near other people. As you move the 3DS around, it will take photos of faces it sees in the background. The game encourages you to act a fool in public to unlock levels.
